On 19th November,#InternationalMensDay, singer-songwriter Sam will release "Stand Tall," a powerful anthem dedicated to mental resilience and support for men’s mental health. In collaboration with MHM Wales and SVC Cardiff , Sam is determined to use his music to make a difference. All proceeds from "Stand Tall" will be donated to mental health initiatives, creating a lifeline for those facing challenges and raising awareness of mental wellbeing for men everywhere.
A Song Born from Personal Struggle
For Sam, "Stand Tall" is more than a song—it’s a message born out of his personal struggles. “Supporting men’s mental health awareness is a deeply personal cause for me. My own journey through mental health struggles led me to find solace in songwriting, transforming my pain into a creative outlet that became a lifeline,” Sam explains. "Stand Tall" captures emotions he once found difficult to express. Through the lyrics, Sam shares a journey of self-discovery, with each line reflecting the strength needed to keep moving forward, despite life’s challenges.
This song is also a tribute to Sam’s late uncle, who sadly took his own life seven years ago. “His passing left a profound impact on me,” Sam shares, “and through this song, I hope to break the silence around men’s mental health.” His uncle’s struggles and ultimate loss became a catalyst for Sam’s determination to raise awareness and support charities that provide essential mental health resources and guidance.
A Message of Resilience and Hope
The lyrics of "Stand Tall" reflect a journey familiar to many men. In Verse 1, Sam sings about doubts, loneliness, and the resilience required to rise above. He captures that sense of fighting through the darkness and embracing every scar as a testament to survival.
One line that resonates deeply in the song is:
> “With my heart on my sleeve, keep going, Every crack just keeps my light showing.”
In these words, Sam encourages listeners to be open, authentic, and courageous, even in the face of adversity. This message is a reminder that vulnerability and resilience are not opposites but partners on the road to mental wellness.
Standing Together for Men's Mental Health
MHM Wales and the SVC Cardiff supporting this project share Sam’s commitment to mental health advocacy. They work tirelessly to provide essential resources, counselling, and support systems, helping men feel less isolated and more empowered in their mental health journeys. The funds raised from "Stand Tall" will allow these organisations to extend their reach and continue their life-changing work.
Why This Matters
The stigma surrounding men’s mental health often prevents men from seeking the support they need. Many feel pressured to maintain a strong, silent image, despite facing inner battles. Sam hopes "Stand Tall" will open the door to conversations, showing that it’s not only okay but necessary to talk about mental health struggles.
On International Men’s Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the contributions of men and raising awareness of men’s unique challenges, "Stand Tall" will serve as a rallying cry for men everywhere to stand up for their wellbeing.
Join the Movement—Listen, Share, and Support
Sam’s charity single "Stand Tall" will be available on all major music platforms—Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and Spotify—starting from 19th November. By listening, sharing, and encouraging others to support, you can be part of a movement that’s making a tangible impact. Every stream, every share, and every purchase of this song will directly contribute to vital mental health resources for men.
As Sam puts it, “Together, we can amplify this message of resilience and hope, ensuring that no man has to suffer in silence.”
So, this International Men’s Day, let’s stand tall with Sam and make a difference for men’s mental health. Listen to the music, share the message, and let’s work towards a world where every man feels seen, supported, and empowered.
